I actually think Nintendo does a good job of this. Yes its true last year that they released Zelda and the two Mario's late but I don't think they had much of a choice on the two Mario's. I don't believe they were ready. They have already released kid Icarus. The new super Mario bros 2 will be out before Christmas. I also believe we will get a date for Luigi mansion 2 sometime in September! Animal crossing will probably slip to October. Then there will be some surprise titles for sure. Maybe a new metroid of donkey Kong country game! Or how about a new IP!

I CANT WAIT FOR E3!!!!

The Wii sells almost as much as the Vita!? o_O

Forget what I'm playing this weekend. I want to know what James isn't telling us! :-X

OK OK I'm playing xenoblade for like the next 5 months at the pace I play and throw in Little kings story and Kid Icarus Uprising! Ill finish those someday!

Can't wait for this. I was in a pinball mood last night so I fired up Zen pinball for a while. Bring it on!

@Byron This is going to be about the same content as zens other set so the price should be the same either way so it really doesn't matter.

Like was said above. I was thinking Retro has been awfully quiet as of late. Must be working on something big if not starfox something else that will blow our socks off. Can't wait to see what it is. Hopefully they are working on two games. One for each system!

I would have to agree with the music issues. Definitely not good quality there. Haven't played much but it seems fun so far!

Lets just hope Nintendo allows this. They don't just give out the rights that easily. Lets all remember the Phillips cdi blunder!

As long as the price drops when it does in the stores this shouldn't be a problem. However I don't think that will happen. If they offer steel diver for 39.99 I can find it for far less!

@XCWarrior As far as I know coins don't expire. Surveys do but not coins. That's the first I've heard of that!

I know a lot of people have said this but I rather support my local store then to give Nintendo even more pure profit. Not saying Nintendo doesn't deserve it just saying if its the same price then I want to keep the local store in business.

Also what happens when the cost goes down on a specific game. Will Nintendo drop theirs!? I highly doubt it. Not till it hits a certain level years from now and is a greatest hits 19.99 version. Also I can usually save even more money if I wait and buy it used a couple of months down the line.

Lets keep in mind the fact that doesn't even count used game sales!

That was more annoying then funny! And that kid at the end looked like all of us trying to chop at the bamboo!

I've been getting a bit more street passes as of late but I never seem to get any new puzzle pieces! PLAY THE DARN GAME PEOPLE!!

You guys did read that this might not happen for another 3 months right! I wonder why it will be July and not now. I guess they still haven't figured it out yet. Hears hoping they do before then. It wouldn't be the first time a date for something slips!

I'm still knee deep into Kid Icarus Uprising. Also in the early parts of Xenoblade Chronicles! The only other things that will take up my time would be metal gear solid 3d or Tales of the Abyss.

Never played it for some reason. I should look into picking up on the cheap now but I would probably never play it for a long time!

Good news for you guys in Europe. Hopefully yoy also get radiant historia. I don't believe it was released there.

Love the first two but money is tight now. I doubt ill be able to pick up a Wii u for about two years. At least then I can get it cheaper and with a bunch of games. Until then ill just enjoy all the excitement through all of you!

@FluttershyGuy The thing about Nintendo games is that most sell well 5 years down the road. I think by then it wouldn't have sold hopefully around 5 million worldwide and thats a very good number. I also think nintndo did a wonderful job of promoting kid Icarus. Commercials tournaments ar cards. What more could they have done really. The only other thing would be a demo in the eshop. If they were smart only the first level flying mission only! Suck people in for sure.

That's better then Europe but no where near as good as Japan. Still if the trend keeps up it should be over 10 million here by Christmas. Japan might be over 20 million if monster hunter 4 hits before the end of the year!

This couldn't be better news. As everyone is saying I thought it would be a fighting game! Can't wait to see how this one turns out. I sure hope this makes it over here. Its little risk right now to develop for the 3ds in Japan. That scares me it wont make it over state side for years!

Yeah and that's what they said about monster hunter on the 3ds. I don't believe anything they say anymore. They are the new Nintendo with withholding information!

^^Thats what I was thinking. Just download him and not use him if it gives you a Hugh advantage.

My question is when is the Nintendo network coming out over here already. Some third party companies want to make some extra money already. Talking about Zen Studios!

Why oh why does Nintendo have this hold on me. I wasn't going to get this game. Didn't even care about a few days ago. Now I want it. Stop making good games. I don't have that much money.

Thanks for the heads up on the controls guys. That's good to know.

To those that have played it. How does it control with the Wii remone? I miss placed my ccp and don't want to buy a new one.

@TheNintendOtaku

He doesn't like the fact it doesn't play from the memory card. Ill probably get it but I've got no space on my systems memory either. I should have to take something off just to download this game. Nintendo needs to figure it out already and allow us to load them from the card. I've got like 30+ games just sitting there.

This game wasn't on my radar but it might be if things like this are in the game. I've played all the Mario tennis games and wasn't interest till now. Still wish it was Mario golf instead!

Wow monster hunter is approaching 1.5 million! Not surprising but still.

Its not that important to Nintendo fans. After all we are not necessary fans because of the graphics. Game play is where it's at. However if they want to appeal to the HD fans then I think it needs to be more powerful. I don't think a controller is going to make them switch systems they play on! Nintendo really needs to utilize that new control in many different ways to win them over. Just think of the next Madden game. Select all your plays on the touch screen. Design your one plays will be a piece of cake as well. And the possibilities for rpgs will be Hugh! Lets just hope its not all maps and inventory. That wont cut it.

I'm glad it got pushed back. Give me more time to play xenoblade chronicles and more time with kid Icarus.

This will be the next game I get and until Luigi's mansion and paper Mario come out their isn't much more for me this year. Of course until the E3 reveals! Oh and the last story. Keeps fingers crossed for Pandora's Tower!

I like that trailer. Can't wait for next week to finally get to experience xenoblade for myself. It will probably take me 6 months to beat LOL!

Just seen this n Nintendo power. Looks great and a defendant download for me. Hope it comes out soon!

If this is anything ANYTHING like Ducktails I will have to look into it. Love that game.

I know its not the same as free to play but the last time I checked I've got about 10 games on my 3ds I have not paid for. That's not including the ambassador games because that was not offered to everyone. Nintendo is getting there but why should they give there games away when they have employees to pay and overhead!

@Shugo I did the same stupid thing. I can no longer hire him in the future! At least he helped do some major damage for me before I sent him to his retirement home.

Reggie gave me soooo many puzzles pieces to choose from about 4 of them were new puzzles! So happy right now. Now I'm off with Reggie to do some monster slaying!

The only game I haven't owned on that list is DoA.

My top ten
1 Kid Icarus by a landslide btw
2 Metal Gear
3 RE:R
4 Mario Kart
5 Zen Pinball
6 OOT
7 Ghost recon: Shadow wars
8 Super Mario 3d land
9 Tales of the Abyss
10 Dillions Rolling Western

Good the hear this game is great! I don't like the fact it doesn't have any online leader boards or state tracking. It wont be as fun without those.

Wave Race and Blast Corps are my two biggest. Also haven't had a new star fox or advanced wars in a while.

I feel sorry for Phil. That's two 1 ratings in about a months time. Good review though and thanks for the heads up as I might have downloaded it!

@James and here I thought Thomas was taking over!

Well that's just prime!

ITS TIME FOR AN OVERHAUL!

This better becoming stateside. Day one purchase for me! Looks purddy!

And this is why the Wii will live on forever.

Ah. I seen them listed with the pricing and assumed you could buy them.

Anyone notice that the game gear games are out?! Ill wait for reviews on those though.

@Gavin_Rozee To each his own I guess!

The graphics are sharp. The game play is spot on and its got some of if not the best 3d visuals ive seen to date. The only real complaint could be the frame rate at times but even that doesn't bring the game down much. Great example of what the 3ds needs going forward.
